Patented Jan. 17, 1939 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 1 Claim.

This invention relates to stove structure, the primary object of the invention being to provide a stove of the combined cooking and heating type.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a stove of a construction simulating the usual heating stove now in common use, but one which can be readily used in baking and cooking, by merely operating a damper to control the passage of heat through the stove.

With the foregoing and other objects in View, which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being underthe invention herein described, may be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.

Referring to the drawings:

Figure 1 is a side elevational view of a stove constructed in accordance with the invention.

Figure 2 is a front elevational view thereof. Figure 3 is a plan view of the stove, the top section thereof having been removed.

Figure 4 is a vertical sectional view through the stove.

Figure 5 is a fragmental sectional view taken through the stove and illustrating the control damper in a closed position.

Figure 6 is a sectional View through the upper portion of the stove, and illustrating the damper in its open position.

Referring to the drawings in detail, the stove comprises a bottom section or base indicated by the reference character 5 to which the legs 6 are secured, and by means of which the stove is supported in spaced relation with the floor.

The body portion of the stove is indicated generally by the reference character I and fits over the bottom section or base, as clearly shown by Figure 1 of the drawings. The stove is substantially oval shape in plan, the upper end thereof being closed by means of the top section 8 which is constructed with a flange 9 that fits within the upper end of the body portion, as clearly shown by Figure 4. This top section is provided with an opening I!) normally closed by a lid (not shown). 1 An upstanding flange indicated by the reference character I I is formed at the stove pipe opening of the top section, and affords means whereby the usual smoke stack not shown, may be positioned on the top section.

The stove grate is indicated by the reference character l2, and is in the form of a plate which is held within the lower section of the stove, the

stood that changes in the precise embodiment of grate resting on the supports I3 and frame I4 of the ash pit door l5, as shown by Figure 1.

The fire box is indicated by the reference character IS, the upper wall of the fire box embodying the plate ll that extends across the interior of the body portion 1, the rear end of the plate being spaced fromv the rear wall of the body portion 1, providing a passageway I8 at the rear of the stove. The oven is indicated by the reference, character I9, and as shown, the oven is rectangular in formation or constructed in such a way that the side edges of the oven will be spaced from the sides of the body portion 1 of the stove, the corners of the oven contacting with the inner surfaces of the body portion, where the corners are secured to support the oven within the body portion. The opening to the oven, is indicated by the reference character 2!], and is formed in one side of the body portion, the opening being normally closed by means of the oven door 2!. As shown, the oven is supported in spaced relation with the plate ll, so that hot gases may circulate above the plate I1, and completely surround the oven. The upper portion of the oven is spaced from the top section 8, providing a passageway which communicates with the passageway IS. The reference character 22 designates a horizontal plate that has a portion, thereof extending downwardly into the passageway [8, the plate acting to direct hot gases towards the front of the stove, over the oven 49. This plate 22 divides the upper porton of thepassageway into lateral passageways, one of the passageways being closed by means of the damper 23 which is mounted on the rod 24 whereby the damper may be moved to its open or closed position, at the will of the operator. When the damper has been moved to a position to close the passageway in which it operates, it will be noted that heat will be directed forwardly and downwardly, completely encircling the oven for baking.

When it is desired to use the stove for heating purposes, the damper 23 is moved to the position shown by Figure 6 of the drawings, whereby the air may pass upwardly and pass out through the chimney not shown. An opening is formed in the front wall of the fire box, the opening being normally closed by means of the door 25.

I claim:

A combined cooking and heating stove comprising a body portion, a horizontal plate disposed within the body portion dividing the body portion into an upper compartment and a lower fire box, an oven supported at its corners within the upper compartment and spaced from the walls of the body portion and from said horizontal plate propassage of heat through the passageway, and a viding gas passageways surrounding the oven, the plate disposed at the upper end of the passageway rear edge of the horizontal partition being spaced adapted to direct heat laterally over the top of from the rear wall of the body portion providing the oven.

a passageway communicating with the first men- HO S HENDERSON- tioned passageways, a damper controlling the
